Re: [gentoo-user] Portage corrupted? Trying to install non-existant packages

[Calvin Spealman]

See, thats part of the problem: there is no package called 'mad'.  There is gnomad and madplay, but no package just called 'mad'. I had the same trouble with portage trying to install motif, instead of openmotif, which actually does exist. I don't know why, but portage just started trying to update packages that aren't there. Might it have to do with any changes in naming of packages, or some of the package splits over the last month or two? (My computer has been packed up since early March)
